NFL Picks Week 3:

So last week in my first venture in picks I went 6-7 against the spread and 7-7 in terms of victories. Already this week, I am ahead 1-0 in both because I picked the Browns to beat the Jets, who will be looking for a new HC very shortly. Anyway, here we go:

Saints at Falcons (-3): The Saints defense has been a huge disappointment this year, but the Falcons defense is banged up. So this could be a high scoring affair. Give me the Falcons at home

Points: Falcons
Victory: Falcons

Colts at Eagles (-6.5): This point spread scares me. Eagles D has not been quality the first two weeks of the year. I'm going to go split on this one

Points: Colts
Victory: Eagles

Bengals at Panthers (-3): This one to me is a coin flip. But the Panthers are the healthier team and the home team

Points: Panthers
Victory: Panthers

Packers (-3) at Skins: This game is tight. Rodgers vs. a very tenacious pass rush by Washington. In the end. give me the more talented signal caller

Points: Packers
Victory: Packers

Niners at Chiefs (-6):  This could be a shootout. KC has the worst pass defense in the NFL. And the Niners defense is not far behind that. Think this game could be close

Points: Niners
Victory: Chiefs

Broncos at Ravens (-5): UPSET PICK OF THE WEEK: I can't trust Joe Flacco against that Broncos defense. And I think the Ravens defense is a bit overrated because they played Buffalo in Week 1. Give me the road team

Points: Broncos
Victory: Broncos

Bills at Vikings (-16.5): HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. 16.5 point spread in the NFL? Per Trey Wingo it's only happened 3 times in the last 5 years, and the Pats were the favored team each time. If the Bills were at home I would take that spread. But alas they are not.

Points: Vikings
Victory: Vikings

Titans at Jaguars (-6.5): Don't like this spread one bit. Divisional game and the chance for a big letdown for the Jags after last week's romping of NE. Give me those points.

Points: Titans
Victory: Jaguars

Giants at Texans (-6): Another spread that I don't really like.  Two offenses that have struggled against two defenses. I will take Watson over Eli, but give me the points

Points: Giants
Victory: Texans

Raiders at Dolphins (-3):  This could be the double whammy for Miami. A let down and a trap game, looking ahead to a trip to NE. I think Gruden gets his first win here.

Points: Raiders
Victory: Raiders

Chargers at Rams (-7): Give me the Rams as their fanbase will overwhelm the imposter LA team

Points: Rams
Victory: Rams

Cowboys at Seahawks (-3): Another minor upset. After seeing Seattle's OL against Chicago and Dallas's DL against NYG, I can't pick Seattle even at home.

Points: Cowboys
Victory: Cowboys

Bears (-4) at Cardinals: The Cardinals are the NFC version of the Bills. The Bears are the NFC version of the Jets. Gimme DA BEARS

Points: Bears
Victory: Bears

Pats (-6) at Lions: After seeing Sam Darnold stuggle in his last two weeks, the question becomes how bad is this Lions defense. The Pats will put that on full display.

Points: Pats
Victory Pats

Steelers (-2.5) at Buccaneers: If this were at home, I would have picked the Steelers I think. But in Tampa, Fitzmagic will reign again.

Points: Bucs
Victory: Bucs
